The smile on your pretty face speaks volumes...... Keep up the great work.

you have lost 100lbs in three months.... WOW that is incredible. Keep up the great work. One of my biggest AHA moments is when i noticed my thighs didn't rub when I walked.... OMG I was so happy. My goal was to get in a single digit paints and i did... from size 18 to 8. P.S. the smile on your pretty face speaks volumes......

Don't beat your self up.... your doing fine. I did the same thing. At first I felt hardly any restriction and had to monitor my food in take. Dinning out was hard for me, so I started portioning out what I know to be about what I should eat and put the rest away. I was banded nov. 10, 2009 and until March I had only lost 40lb pounds. But then I started exercising and the rest just came off. I started at 223 and now I weigh 153. It has taking me a year and three months. Remember every ones weight loss journey is different. Embrace the pounds you have lost.....

Banded Nov. 10th. How is everyone doing? Had my first fill on Dec. 10th and don't really feel that different. Anyone have their second fill yet. Any tips. I was to go back on the 23rd but changed it to Jan. 7th.

Got my band Nov. 10..... down 28lbs don't worry, as soon as you start the pre-op diet the pounds will come off. I lost 14 in 14 days. No I didn't stick to the diet, I did't cheat twice. I was so hungry. Keep up the good work and you will be glad you did this. Remember to be around possitive people.

I bought that yesterday. From HSN of all places, I had never bought anything from them before. I should get it on Monday or Tuesday. My son plays on his friends so I'm hoping he can help me understand and set it up. I got my band Nov. 10 and doing just fine. I took the large band which I didn't think I would. Had my first fill on Dec. 10th. Didn't really feel all that different. I was to go on the 23rd, but I'm going to wait till after the christmas holidays. I'm still losing about 2-3 lbs a week which is great for me. I'm down 28lbs. Did the 2-week pre diet and lost most of that. Stick to it as much as you can. I can't lie and tell you that I didn't cheat, because I did twice. My doctor said when he went in my liver looked fine. I really stuck to it the last 5 days. I'm really shocked that he brought you all in as a group. HIPPA laws are pretty strick about people knowing others business. My dr. was wonderful, very understanding. Were are you from? I live in South Louisiana. I only come on line a couple times a week, so if you don't hear from me, I'll catch up.

I got my band Nov. 10 and went for my first fill Thursday and I too do not feel restricted. I have been watching what I eat, but I have to admit that i have not been drinking enough. I have only lost 20lbs. and feel that I should be losing more.

Had my first fill Thursday and I really can feel any different.... any advice?

WOW you are doing GREAT!! I hope my sucess is as good. this is why i'm choosing not to tell my family. i'm from the south and everything is food related. i have only shared my choice with very few people that i know will be supportive. I think ice cream will be hard for me too. Had my gllbladder out a few years ago. Easy surg., not bad at all. Good luck

I will be having my band on the 10th, but with my dr. they have you continue with liq. diet for two to four week after and then a puree diet for two weeks, then a soft food diet for two weeks, than reg. diet. Seems kinda quick to be eating "reg." food. Today is my first day on the liq. diet.... ughhh

how was your first day? today is mine and it's hard. banding on the 10th. 800-1000 cal. 3-4 shakes that has 200 or less cal. 15 grams of protein and 5 or less grams sugar. 3-5 of either fat free milk, yogart, cottage cheese or pudding 2 4oz cups of juice... no more 2 6oz of v-8 juice...yuck and unlimited sugar free liquid beverages like crystal light, popsicles, gelatin, broth or strained soup. and of course WATER... yuck

hello everyone... first time writing. Banding on the 10th, so today is my first day on liquids. This is not fun. Anyone else on the 10th?
